‘Ni No Kuni’ Preview: The JRPG you’ve been waiting for | Stick Skills

Josiah Renaudin: "You know, sometimes a game doesn’t need to flip the script in order to grab some attention. I love innovation and fancy new mechanics as much as the next guy, but every once in a while, all I want to do is sink my teeth into some gaming comfort food. JRPGs have been my go-to genre for the past few generations of consoles, and thankfully, Level-5 and Studio Ghibli are bringing what’s shaping up to be one of this generation’s most interesting role-playing adventures to North America and Europe early next year. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch has more charm and endearing characters than almost any other entertainment product out there, and while it won’t drag in the droves of players drooling over the next Call of Duty title, fans of RPGs, both old and new, should take notice."
